The Park Forest American Legion hosts its annual Memorial Day Ceremony on May 27 at 11 a.m. The program takes place at the corner of Main Street and Cunningham Drive in Downtown Park Forest and includes placement of remembrance wreaths in solemn honor of fallen service members, along with recognition of Park Forest veterans, informative details on the proper protocol for folding the American flag, a three-volley rifle salute, and live bugle rendition of “Taps.” Residents are encouraged to attend to remember those who have lost their lives while serving the country.
In the event of rain the program will be moved to the Board room of Park Forest's Village Hall, 350 Victory Drive.
